Ingredients
- 3 bell pepper sliced, red, yellow, or orange
- 1 onion sliced, large yellow or red
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon basil dried
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 20 oz turkey sausage 5 links, spicy or sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F
- Place the sliced bell peppers and onions on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Sprinkle the garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes on top. Toss to combine well.
- Spread the veggies out in a single layer on the pan and nestle the sausages between them. You can use two sheet pans if needed. You don’t want to the vegetables to be too crowded.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Then, toss the vegetables and flip the sausages. Return the pan to the oven and cook another 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and caramelized and sausages are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F as measured by a meat thermometer. Serve.

Notes
- meat thermometer
- Here are some ideas on how to serve this dish:
- mashed potatoes
- Spread the veggies out in a single layer so they caramelize instead of getting steamed. It's okay if it takes more than one sheet pan.
- Keep a close watch on the vegetables. If they are browning too much, you can turn the heat down a little. I also recommend stirring the vegetables when you flip the sausages so they don't stick to the pan.
- Make sure the sausage cooks evenly on both sides by flipping them halfway through cooking. Use a meat thermometer to be sure that it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- On a Bun: Make a sub by filling hot dog buns or hoagie rolls with the sausage and peppers. You can top it with some shaved parmesan cheese, and warm in the oven before serving.
- With Pasta: Pair your favorite pasta and marinara sauce with baked sausage and peppers for a crowd-pleasing dinner.
- With Rice or Potatoes: Serve with cooked rice or mashed potatoes. You can go with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option
